The Grizzled Young Veterans won the gold at NJPW Fighting Spirit Unleashed.

At NJPW Fighting Spirit Unleashed, the Grizzled Young Veterans (James Drake and Zack Gibson) challenged TMDK (Mikey Nicholls and Shane Haste) for the NJPW STRONG Openweight Tag Team Championship. The two teams battled back and forth in a hard-fought match. In the end, the Grizzled Young Veterans scored the win. Drake choked Haste with a towel, and the challengers then hit a high-low to clinch the victory and capture the titles.

The loss ends TMDK’s reign at 153 days, as they previously won the gold at NJPW Dominion in June. They also lost the IWGP Tag Team Championship just days earlier at NJPW Power Struggle on November 4.

With the win, Grizzled Young Veterans captured their first titles in NJPW. They have won the NXT UK Tag Team Championship, and they have also held titles in RevPro and PROGRESS. The duo has been competing on AEW programming in recent months.
